It's certainly been a rocky road all round (pardon the pun) for everyone. Our thoughts go out to everyone and we hope that Todd and Brant fly through their medicals with no hiccups this morning.
I've never seen such media coverage in Tas before which has led to emails and calls from friends and relatives in other states. It's great to see such support from the nation. Beaconsfield is only 15 minutes from where myself and Acropolite reside, about 40 mins from Launceston where davidpretorius resides so our emotions were pretty high when we heard the good news this morning, the culmination of such an extraordinary effort. I saw an interview with the chief powder monkey and he had been working a 29 hr shift!! Thats dedication at its best. The really sad part is yet to come, the funerals for Larry and of course Richard Carlton.
